Chapter 327 Ergou's dominance!
In fact, for some game fans, whether it is "The Last of Us" or even "Red Dead Redemption 2", the gameplay is slightly inferior to works such as "Fallout 4" and "Cyberpunk 2077".
Because they emphasize plot tension and have a relatively slow pace. They will focus more on the setting and shaping of emotions, human nature, etc.
So there will be similar comments: this game is good in every way, except that it’s a little bit not fun.
But…any player who loves single-player games and likes single-player games will give a review like this! A masterpiece!
Absolutely a masterpiece! And as long as you calm down a little and have a certain amount of patience, you will find these games really fun.
Whether it is a film or a game, especially a game, this is the work that has the deepest communication and interaction with players.
Therefore, players can clearly feel whether the producers have invested energy, talent, and even soul.
There is a negative example, that is Ubisoft.
Ubisoft put a lot of love and talent into its early works, such as Far Cry 3 and the early Assassin's Creed.
But later on.
Everyone will have a feeling that it is formulaic.
Typical Ubisoft canned product.
As for "The Last of Us" launched by Ergou Studio, the first thing that almost all players and media feel after entering the game world is amazement!
Even the kind of astonishment that is slightly unbelievable.
In order to show off its skills, Ergou Studio learned the cinematic narrative style of "Red Dead Redemption 2".
This is very different from the historical version. It took only a few minutes to describe the world before the end of the world with top-notch game graphics. It is so real and so beautiful.
Even... because it was sunset, the whole picture seemed to have a halo filter, with a beauty like that of an oil painting.
The scene moves from the metropolis to the suburbs and to the countryside.
Bustling skyscrapers, busy traffic, gardens on both sides of the suburbs, villas, people exercising, timid and excited little animals, and so on.
There are also countless varieties of flowers.
Everyone who saw these pictures had only one feeling.
This world is so beautiful.
Moreover, these are not CG, but real-time rendering of the game screen, and they are even operable.
The protagonist drove through the city and the countryside, full of joy and eagerness to go home and return to his daughter.
This show of skill was undoubtedly extremely successful.
Players around the world and even the global media were stunned.
Is the game graphics already so amazing?! Is Ergou Studio's strength in this area so far ahead of the industry?
This... is definitely a next-generation picture.
The graphics of Fallout 3, The Witcher 1, and Fallout: New Vegas have already given people a huge surprise.
But I didn't expect that "The Last of Us" would make such a big leap forward.
In addition, has the physics engine been greatly upgraded? The physics feedback of this character and its movement has become much more natural.
Did the weather system get a major upgrade? And the lighting effects?
And the most difficult character facial expressions in this game.
And so on and so forth…
Ordinary players didn’t feel anything, but veteran players, especially the game review media, were completely shocked.
That's crazy.
I never expected to see such a huge leap forward in multiple technologies in just one game.
Even if you have one or two technological innovations, it would be amazing. It is actually an all-round leap.
Historically, it was Rockstar that accomplished this mission.
Although "Cyberpunk 2077" is extremely excellent, its picture quality in some aspects can be regarded as the ceiling of that era.
However, Rockstar deserves the honor of exploring the ceiling of gaming technology.
Especially the sudden emergence of "Red Dead Redemption 2", which really broke through the ceiling. Even after many years, no rival has surpassed it.
And now Ergou Studio is playing such a role.
It has been established for 7 years and is like a galactic battleship and a super giant in the gaming industry.
Now it has advantages that other competitors do not have.
It has a steady stream of financial support, countless human resources, and extremely luxurious ally resources.
Even...there is not much KPI pressure.
Because it has such a huge halo, it doesn't need much publicity resources at all.
Its only pressure is the fear of becoming mediocre and failing to amaze the world.
Its only mission is to be innovative and radical.
And this time, it did.
After the shocking sales of 12 million on the first day, there was an endless stream of praise.
Whether it is from the media or the players.
Unanimous praise.
“This is a groundbreaking game that brings the ninth art to a whole new level.”
“I expected it to be good, but I didn’t expect it to be this good.”
“In fact, when you play it for the first time, it’s hard to immerse yourself in the plot because the graphics are so good, the physics feedback is so good, the character expressions are so good, and the real-time weather system is so amazing.”
"Its cities, its forests, its snow-capped mountains are so beautiful that you can't help but be attracted to them."
"Now I finally understand how $150 million was spent. I also understand why this game, which is not very large in size and not particularly long, required more than a thousand people and took three years to make."
"I now deeply understand that fear of mediocrity is a mission engraved into the genes of Ergou Studio."
“I can only say that it’s great that the world has Ergou Studio.”
The article from this most mainstream game review media is almost corny.
But for ordinary players.
“To be honest, when I first started playing, I felt quite bored because the pace was a bit slow. Although its plot is actually very intense, I played it with the inertia and expectations of Fallout 3. After playing for about two hours, I put it down with some disappointment.”
"Then I saw that online and on video sites, there were almost nothing but overwhelming praise for the game. Not only for the graphics, but also for the gameplay and plot. There were almost no criticisms. So I forced myself to be patient, picked up the game again, adjusted my expectations, and started playing again. Three hours later, I was completely immersed in it."
“All I can say is, it’s awesome!”
"The few plots in the middle of the film shocked me greatly."
“After the game was over, I still couldn’t recover. It was as if I was completely immersed in the world of the game.”
“Masterpiece, Masterpiece, Masterpiece!”
"I can't imagine that both doomsday games, produced by the same company, can be so different from Fallout 3."
"This isn't an open world game, this is more of a linear game."
“So I don’t even feel like I’m playing a game, but rather experiencing a whole different life.”
"In the end, I'm sure that Master Ergou really loves games. He is in charge of quantum technology, and he is fighting a life-and-death battle with Google. He is actually the chief screenwriter of this game, and he wrote more than half of the scripts."
“This is truly a mythical figure!”
…………………………
The Last of Us is not over yet in terms of shocking the gaming world.
The ratings for "Stranger Things" on CBS have been released, and the number of viewers for the first episode of the first season directly exceeded 12 million.
Even though this is a wireless TV network, this is after all the first season and the first episode.
This viewership rate is already astonishing.
The most important thing is the rating. No matter which platform, the reputation and rating are explosive.
On IMDB, the most authoritative rating website, the score of the first episode of the first season soared to 9.3 points.
"Incredible TV series, incredible leader Ergou."
“When Er Gou Jiaozhu was written as the chief screenwriter, I knew it would be a masterpiece. But after I actually finished reading it, it still brought me an incomparable surprise.”
"Breaking Bad and The Walking Dead are already excellent. I really didn't expect that Master Er Gou could bring us a completely different TV series."
"Dream Vision, it really never disappoints you."
"If mediocrity is the original sin, then Master Ergou is getting further and further away from this word."
This drama originally caused a huge sensation and success, and became an enduring IP in American dramas. In this world, it still appears with a halo.
Almost from the moment it came out, it was subjected to the most rigorous tests.
If the test fails, the halo will quickly dim, but if the test is passed, the halo will become more dazzling.
And there is no doubt that this test was more than passed.
This drama appeared several years in advance, bringing unparalleled surprises to audiences across the United States and even around the world.
Many people are really impressed by the creativity of Dream Vision. After such super-phenomenal works as "Breaking Bad" and "The Walking Dead", they can still come up with a masterpiece like "Stranger Things".
Many media outlets gave direct answers.
"You can always trust Master Ergou, and you can always believe in the Dream Vision. The surprises it brings you will always be beyond your imagination."
“It’s only a matter of time before ‘Stranger Things’ tops the network ratings.”
"Another work has been created that will accompany audiences across the United States and even around the world for many years."
For the audience, this is amazing, and for CBS Group, this is a huge benefit.
Because professionals can tell at a glance that this is another very long-standing IP and another IP with a very distinctive personality.
Although it was expected, when this result came out, Dream Vision was still in an uproar.
This means that the jobs of the entire project team will be secure for many years, or even more than ten years.
After the viewership figures came out, the president of Dream Vision called every screenwriter member, and the content of the call to Leon was very simple.
“Leon, go see the house, go see it now!”
"Be closer to the company, closer to our king, and buy at a higher price, because your income will not only be stable, but will skyrocket."
After receiving the call, Leon immediately discussed it with Senior Sister Zhang Yin.
Then a shocking number came out.
He will maintain this income for many years to come, not to mention that he has also taken on other jobs within Lin Xiao Group.
"Honey, let's get married!"
“Let’s buy a house.”
"We can go around looking at houses now."
Senior Sister Zhang Yin was also completely shocked by this huge surprise.
Is this the charm of success? Is this the charm of Ergou? She has worked diligently for several years and has a decent job, but the ceiling is clearly visible. It is difficult to buy a house in a place like California, and she can only maintain a relatively decent life.
However, she didn't expect that her boyfriend, after accumulating strength for a long time and joining the spiritual empire of Leader Ergou, would reap such a huge and generous reward in one go.
She even did some calculations and found that based on Leon's current job, his income in the next year might be equal to the total of all her income since she came to the United States.
What Leon said that made her feel even more powerful was, "Let's get married."
Almost for a moment, Zhang Yin even had a feeling, am I worthy of everything I have now?
Leon was still very excited and asked, "Which community's houses should we go to see?"
“What should our home purchase budget be?”
Next, he even went to real estate-related websites with great interest.
Senior Sister Zhang Yin suddenly said: “Leon, otherwise, let’s buy the house we are renting now.”
Leon said: "Why? We can buy better ones."
Senior Sister Zhang Yin: "I am not young anymore. My heart can no longer withstand too much turmoil. I can't even withstand the so-called letting go."
Let go of things.
This word appeared on Xiaohongshu many years in advance.
Zhang Yin has only recently become a fan of Xiaohongshu and a loyal user of it.
She told no one, but she told herself that this was the last time she would change her stance.
From now on, her life and her spiritual world can no longer withstand any more turmoil.
And this position is very, very complicated.
But overall, it is a return to values and nation.
To a certain extent, this spiritual anchor point is Leader Ergou, Wu Lingxi, Xia Xi, and so on.
The moment she made this decision, she even felt her whole heart suddenly at peace.
Leon: "Are you sure? Are you sure you don't want to find a better neighborhood, a better house?"
Zhang Yin: "I am sure that in the years to come, I want to embrace everything I have now and cherish everything I have now."
Leon: "I'll listen to you! Because my spiritual world is more fragile and needs more stability."
The two of them couldn't even wait until the next day and called the landlord that very night, wanting to buy the house.
………………
At the same time, Sony Group once again launched a no-confidence plan against Chairman Howard Stringer.
This is the fourth time.
In less than a year, Amy Pascal, Kazuo Hirai and others launched four actions to oust the chairman.
Each time more sharp than the last.
The huge success of this collaboration between Fantasy Vision and CBS directly involves billions of dollars in interests.
Coupled with the huge success of "The Last of Us", Sony Entertainment once again strengthened its confidence.
Finally this time...
Howard Stringer was directly kicked out of office!
Kazuo Hirai, the senior executive who fully embraced Lin Xiao's system, took up the position of chairman of Sony Group ahead of schedule.
This moment.
Lin Xiao has already demonstrated strong influence, or dominance.
………………
Note: I have finished the work and would like to ask for monthly tickets. Thank you everyone.
